Actually, it's not. The holiday you're celebrating with the tree is the winter solstice. There's nothing in the Bible or the Christian religion that even vaguely suggests (or even makes sense of) using evergreen trees to commemorate the (completely wrong season) birth of Jesus.
The truth is that pagans used to deck out their homes with sprigs and branches to make their homes look alive, so that Death would pass them by in winter. Or they did it just because it helped them remember that spring was around the corner. Or because Balder the sun god like evergreen trees.
I'm not pagan. You're wrong I'm not celebrating the winter solstice. I'm an atheist celebrating christmas with a Christmas tree along with thousands of other non Christians and it has nothing to do with the Jesus or the bible you're right about that.
Coincidentally as I was typing that last post in work a girl behind me was saying how much she loves Christmas and a workman came in with a Christmas tree under his arm saying where do you want the Christmas tree.
Makes me glad this work place isn't infected with political correctness that makes this holiday/Christmas thing even an issue.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
